Oh contraire, I replaced the lights in my speedo and tach and the light level 
came up significantly.  I can actually read the gauges at night.

You're right about melting the bubble but that only serves to increase the 
gauge lighting all the more.  My Ammeter is now extra bright.

They are quite pricey, however.  Especially if you buy them from the vendor 
who frequents many of the car shows that feature MG's.
